Never gamble in front of your kids.

[JMBitcointernational]

Gambling in front of your children is very unreasonable because it does not add anything positive To Them.children’s brain are like empty Slatea especially within the 4-14 years age bracket And whatever they learn registers directly To their brain.however, gambling in the presence of children does not actually speak Good of you because you are not planning a better future for them rather you are exposing them to be gambling addicts because you are given them the opportunity To turn their lives To Gamblers.

Gambling before your children is very similar To stealing or having sex before them because they will learn more than you And will like To try it with their peer groups in School especially in the Hostels. Try So hard To Create positive impact before your children , teach them How To be investors , Train them on How To trade crypto And hodl some coins for future purposes, And lastly teach them How To be positive Minded in whatever they do.

As a professional gambler and they understanding gambler you are not supposed to discuss anything that relate with gambling in the presence of your children because that's motivate your children or give your children the insight of gambling when they have nothing understand the advantages and the disadvantages of gambling probably gambling is meant for rich people and it is also called entertainment for them but we we massively engage in gambling due to we needed a quick money and we think that the gambling is the shortest way of making money so that is why we don't need to discuss anything that relates to the gambling in the presence of our children

I don’t think just talking about gambling in front of minors would motivate them to take a liking to gambling and start right away. If even, they understand what is being said, I doubt they’ll be motivated to go into gambling just from what someone says.
Gambling isn’t necessarily for the rich people and it’s entertainment for all and not just for the rich. Instead of shying away from the topic, I would think it’s best to be open and clear with minors, telling them what they need to know and understand before they get to the age of being influenced into doing what they should not be doing.

[Accardo]

Children or kids want to try gambling once they will that thier parents are involve with it or else siblings or neighbors but we parents, we are the guidance so we need to focus our attention to them if they want to gamble in thier young age then we must not let it cause one thing for sure there's a chance that it will lead into addiction cause some young men or woman can not control themselves and they will let themselves involve in gambling and have a big chance that they will become an addict and ones it will happen then that's is a bad thing.

In my childhood, almost everyone played games of some kind: the older generation played chess and dominoes, the middle and younger generations mostly played card games. Having got acquainted with gambling in childhood, it is quite difficult to give them up later on.

I do not see anything wrong with gambling. The main thing in time to realize that you should not put at stake all that you have and treat gambling as entertainment, even if you play for money.

Some successful gamblers started as kids. Gambling with parents and siblings on gambling-related games, with no money. Success in this context is those who can control themselves. And never chase a loss. I think the early experiences of playing with no money, cards like Joker, create the knowledge in them that gambling is not a monetary game alone. Hence, as an adult, the player wouldn't stress himself on making money through games. Instead, he'd want to enjoy the game as it was, as a child. Parents do have fun with kids, naturally, and utilize the moment to teach their children. Sharing methods of enjoying the game. They are games I played as a child and would enjoy as an adult. Yet wouldn't feel comfortable staking money on them, because when I began playing it as a child, money wasn't involved.

That feeling of playing naturally when playing the game still lives in me. I'd prefer staking money on casinos, and still playing naturally to at least enjoy the game. With fewer worries. Because I played games with my loved ones, with no worries about losing. It was all about skills and experience. Accepting defeat as a child helps in dealing with gambling as an adult. The biggest challenge of most gamblers is that they think of gambling as a competition. Between them and the house. It shouldn't be. Gambling is based on luck and experience. And to master this, a player should have been playing gambling-related games as a child, with no money. That is, he never knew money could be staked in such games. Gambling is not bad. Kids should be guided not to stake money as children.

Instead of shying away from the topic, I would think it’s best to be open and clear with minors, telling them what they need to know and understand before they get to the age of being influenced into doing what they should not be doing.

If we talk about which is better about whether we should tell a minor about the dangers of gambling and prohibit them from engaging in such activities or keep the following secret by hiding, and avoiding everything that smells of gambling from their view, in my opinion it is best not to tell them at all about gambling education or the dangers of gambling, Because the context in this problem is a child who is still underage, which cannot be denied that maybe when we tell them about the dangers of gambling then maybe it can arouse their curiosity to find out what gambling is really about so that you prohibit them.

Although the statement is a prohibition and not a motivation, but still, the name of a child they are still very dominated by curiosity in themselves which makes them maybe find out for themselves about what gambling really is.

On the other hand, gambling is basically for everyone and not just for the rich, but one of the reasons why gambling should be avoided from the view of a child is because they have a very unstable mindset which does not yet know what is right and what is wrong, as well as for children under the age of 18 they usually have a high curiosity about something they find or that makes them feel interested, so as much as possible we should avoid anything that smells of gambling from their view regardless of whether they are rich or poor.

[TopTort777]

People cant come with something better than imaginary "addiction to gambling". Like kids are unstable mind can be influenced only by gambling. What about all that violence in the movies and news they see every day? Almost every day they see people smoke and drink alcohol. Almost every day they watch content on youtube that does not suit their age. Among all the evil around (and btw who has said that gambling is bad?) you try to protect them from least dangerous. Like if they see you gambling when they were 10, during next years, you, as parent, is not going to do anything to educate them what is good, bad and what gambling can cause. And when they become 18, first thing kids are going to do is to go to casino and lose all the money.

Maybe they won't be motivated but if they talk about gambling among their peers, there's a chance they'll get interested and try it. As adults, we should avoid discussing gambling in front of children. Let them grow and develop like other children without knowing about gambling.

If later they find out about gambling from their friends, we can tell them that gambling can have bad consequences for their lives. However, in their social interactions, they may learn about gambling. It is our job as parents to guide him not to get involved in gambling.

We can just be open with them about gambling. We can also give them real examples of people familiar with gambling and its effects on them. This is so they can know what will happen to them if they get to know gambling and play gambling so they can avoid it.

[Betwrong]

Hey gamblers' community, hope you're all doing great.
I wanted to convey my message here that gambling in front of our kids may put adverse effects on their growing minds and they may also take the wrong path and start gambling (either by asking you personally for funds or by stealing it in order to fulfill their gambling cravings).

I'm sharing this because I saw this issue with my kiddo who was once watching me gamble at a website playing blackjack and she started asking me more about the game. Then one day, she wanted to play it herself and asked me if she can go for it and I said "no, it's not your legal age to go for such games". So, it's better to keep our kiddos away from gambling and let them focus on their studies, else it'd actually ruin everything for the whole family if the kid takes the wrong path.

Making kids focus on their studies instead of introducing them to gambling? Who would argue with that? Even if it was possible for them to constantly make money through gambling, what money can bring to an uneducated person? Nothing apart some troubles, I think. The greatest wealth lies in knowledge, not money.

[bakasabo]

I remember from my childhood, that it took quite an effort for parents to get kids home from street, as they were busy playing and socializing. I see kids today, and it is almost impossible to get them out to play. All they want to do is to spend time in their gadgets, while having million of toys in their room. All that makes me think, that even if parents gamble in front of them, they either wont notice it, or pay little attention to it. But they will surely focus on what they see on youtube for example. So it is better not to pay a lot of attention who they friend with and what they can learn from them, not to hide gambling activities at home, but monitor or control what they get from social media. Today, social media is what they trust more than parents, family, friends. You can redecorate whole house, paint room, move furniture - they wont notice that. But if their favourite youtuber uploads a new video about minecraft, then that will be an object of discussion among friend for weeks.

We are as parents does really know on how education would really be changing up someones lifes and this is something a foundation on which it would really be making our children to have at least that kind of assurance that they could get a job or having that advantage in compared into those people who doesnt have that education. What more if they would really just not be able to finish up their studies and would really be focusing directly on making money through gambling? For us parents then we arent that dumb on how people do end up with gambling. This isnt something that you could really be able to make your future better with it.

If you are a parent and a gambler then it would really be that responsible that you should not let them see you on playing gambling because we do know that whatever
the things that our children would be able to see is something that would really be the thing that they would be following on which they would really be that seeing it to be right and correct.
Therefore, it would be common sense that you should really be avoiding it at all cost.

We can't pretend everything's perfect. Kids learn faster than we think from friends, the internet, and more. Gambling education? Though tricky, we're hurting them by ignoring it.

Though we forbid gambling talk, they'll still hear about it. They're alone when they do. We've forced them to figure it out without context

Wouldn't a real chat be better? Not obscuring risks, but explaining addiction potential, etc. Knowledge, not fear, is the goal. In this world of temptation, ignoring it isn't an option. Building mental armor (helping kids grasp why gambling is dangerous) will help them make educated decisions. Protecting them works until it doesn't, but telling them the truth? That endures

The advance technology that we have around thos days have made life very easy amd for increasing privacy because you can see how kids could be busy not to even notice there parents screen since smart parents always know what to do to keep the kids distracted and engaged.

The most important thing is for us to monitor the kids to be sure that they don't go out of the way into having access to what is above they age at any moment.

Both ways are not perfect, but it's better to pass down advice than not. I realized earlier that some words like drugs, gambling, and sex, stick to the brain, regardless of the context of the information it's embedded in. Sex education increased premarital or unwanted pregnancy. Same as drugs and gambling. Even when telling people the better ways to gamble or escape addiction, they still go there to mess things up. Not saying a thing about it, is also wrong. I think while we pass down the message, it's good for the parent to know, that the child is to decide what to do with himself. Guiding them is great, but sometimes we won't be there to protect them from peers. Which is the strongest form of influence on growing people.

Their peers can easily distract them from focusing. Once noticed a young person who after receiving advice from his parent, would immediately go contrary to that if the friends arrive. Especially, when the parents have gone to work. So, since, with or without the advice or guardian, the child will still hear about gambling, not talking to them isn't an option, sure. The best form of having this conversation is to build a relationship between both parties, that gambling discussion is not prohibited in the family. This will help the child to tell his parents earlier if he begins to gamble or is already thinking about doing it. And also creates an avenue for the parent to know those whom their child engages with in gambling.

[bakasabo]

I remember we had a topic here where people suggest to teach kids to trade or invest as early as possible. Because that will help them to build bright future and have a lot of money when they grow up. When people suggest that, they imagine that their kids will trade only with profit. But we all know how trading can be dangerous, how easy it is to lose money with wrong investment. On the other hand, people suggest not to gamble in front of kids, because they will get addicted and lose all of their money. So if two actions involve risk and money, then why gambling inst suggested to do in front of kids, but trading and investing is ok? Should not those two better not be done in front of kids, or should be done in front of kids?

[Litzki1990]

Personally I think there are three things we need to be sure of before betting.

• I need to have extra money. So that if I lose money it doesn't affect my daily life.
• I must have full knowledge about the subject on which I will bet. Otherwise there is a high possibility of losing money. So first of all we have to study about the subject on which we are going to bet. Bets should be placed after knowing completely.
  
• Our nerves must be strong. Gambling is definitely not for the faint of heart. We must be mentally strong.
  

In children or young people we will not see any of these three points. This is why children and young people should definitely stay away from gambling. If not, they may be in great danger.

Even if we focus more on the first point you have given, the kids or the younger generation will immediately be out of the question. The first and most important thing in gambling, they need to have money to start gambling. There's no other way that a young kid will have money to gamble unless they are part of a very rich family.

I agree that the best thing to do is to make them stay away from gambling. Let them enjoy being young and have fun without getting to know anything about gambling.

You are right. Usually children or young people do not have enough money to gamble. But I have seen in several news reports that young men are involved in crimes like theft and robbery to finance gambling and drug addiction. Also I got a news from India that a minor son squandered his father's savings by gambling. I have seen several such news.

However, we should always bet carefully. and trying to hide gambling from children or young people. This is for adults. And I would say gambling is only for those who earn money.

Money is not the main problem for gambling in children, the main problem is the disruption of their mental development. I have seen this happen many times when I discuss Bitcoin in front of my family members, especially the younger ones, they are talking about Bitcoin themselves. 

That is, children are like candles or clay, they will be shaped in the way you give them from childhood. We must see to it that we never stand in the way of children's mental growth. If gambling is discussed in front of children from childhood then curiosity about gambling will be created in their mind from childhood and when they learn to understand a bit they will search about gambling with smartphone in hand. When they search about gambling, all the information about gambling comes in front of them, but they don't develop as they should.

Let them know we are just playing a game if ever they ask. They don't have any idea yet about what we do but still, it's better if we explain it better to them so that they won't keep on asking questions or they won't do the research on their own since they have access to both gadgets and the internet.
But I do agree with your final statement that what we should be monitoring is their activity on Youtube and social media. I have a weekly check-up of their smartphones and I make sure that the recommended videos will be as clean as possible. Histories of what they watch are also checked because they don't know yet how to clear those. There was a time when I had already seen some half-nude videos in my son's history and I cleaned it as fast as possible to avoid more recommendations. I know he must not mean to open those but it's better to be safe.
If they are opening those things without any idea what it is, what more with gambling since advertisements are all over the internet.

[TopTort777]

Why do you all think that kids are so naive and stupid, and their only wish is to spend money in gambling after they see you gamble? Dont be ridiculous, instead of gambling to increase money in their piggy bank, they would either ask parents for money, or will ask to buy what they want. If you afraid that kids will be addicted to gambling, then I am more afraid they will be addicted to McDonalds In my entire life I have seen more kids addicted to chips, soda and fastfood, and zero kids that knew what is gambling, zero kids that spend all their money on gambling and zero kids who went to casino as first thing to do when they hit 18

We don't need to pretend to be perfect, especially in front of children. If necessary, we can learn together with the children and don't need to feel proud or inferior if we don't know something. Learning with children about things, especially about the consequences or impacts of gambling with them, can open up children's insight into whether gambling can make their lives messy.

As parents, we really have to accompany our children well. This is so that they can grow and develop well and are not involved in something that could negatively impact them. By always being near them, at least they can trust us as their parents. They will not seek information from the wrong place because we can always help them.

Closeness between parents and children can create even closer family relationships. They will not carelessly look for information so they can live their lives well. These things seem to have started to disappear for now because of the busy lives of their respective parents.

Kids of nowadays are very curious to learn or test something. And that's why they like asking questions that might lead you to giving them a hash response which would even build their curiosity more, na then destroy the parent to child relationship which you have built. And if they paraventure start taking advise from friends and then disregarding their parents advise, it could make them make lots of mistakes without letting their parents know, and that could include becoming addicted to gambling. We have more of teenagers in this category. If they get sweet mouth by online gambling ads they could think of only the positive aspects of gambling. That is, doubling their money and maximizing their profits, and some of them could find it very difficult to quit.

...

Gambling before your children is very similar To stealing or having sex before them because they will learn more than you And will like To try it with their peer groups in School especially in the Hostels.

...

this analogy might be too much, because i also grew up in an environment where people gambled every day, but i didn't grow up being a gambling addict. because it still comes back to the individual, because many gambling addicts are born from good families. so even though it is not recommended to gamble in front of children, even if we gamble in front of them there is no certainty that they will gamble more than we do.

That right. As parents, we must explain things instead of hiding. I think I have seen such idea here already. This seems wrong to hide lots of things from kids, because they can understand it incorrectly at their age. I dont understand how people plan to do that. When kid is 0-17 years old, hide lots of things, but when he turns 18, explain him lots of information in one set? Imo it is better explain what we are doing, then hiding and getting back to explanation anyway, when kid get curious about what we were hiding.
